The majority of structures in the district are two stories high and are square, rectangular, or irregular in plan. There <br />are a few story -and -a -half residences. The prevalent facade proportions are between a 1:1 and a 1:2 height -to -width <br />ratio. <br />Reouired <br />The height of a new structure and its height -to -width proportions shall be consistent with adjacent buildings in the <br />district. The building height shall be no greater than that of the tallest existing structure and no less than that of the <br />lowest existing structure of the same type in the same block. Facade proportions shall be established by permitting <br />no structure with a facade wider or narrower than those existing in the same block. Additions to existing buildings <br />shall be related in height and proportion to the existing structure. <br />Recommended <br />Contemporary designs should be compatible in character and mood to the building or neighborhood. <br />Prohibited <br />Additions may not be constructed that would change the existing facade of a building, alter its scale or architectural <br />character, or add new height. <br />Not Recommended <br />New stories should not be added, nor should existing stories be removed, which would destroy important <br />architectural details, features or spaces of the building. Any style or period of architecture that is incompatible with <br />what exists should not be permitted in the new additions. <br />B. BUILDING MATERIALS <br />Wall materials in the district include brick, stucco, half-timbering, stone, clapboard, shingle, and metal and vinyl <br />siding. <br />Required <br />Exterior materials used on a new structure shall be compatible in scale, texture and color with adjacent <br />structures. Materials used on an addition to an existing structure shall relate to the existing or original <br />materials of that structure. As much of the original structure as possible shall be retained so that the <br />addition could be removed without damage to the basic structure and appearance of the building. <br />Recommended <br />Metal or vinyl siding may be used when it is the only feasible alternative. This siding should be compatible with the <br />original size and style and with the materials of other buildings in the district. <br />Prohibited <br />Inappropriate materials such as asbestos, asphalt, molded or artificial stone, or artificial brick shall not be used. <br />Not Recommended <br />Glass blocks should not be used. Concrete block should not be used for anything other than foundations. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval. <br />Elicia Feasel <br />Executive Director <br />Deb Parcell <br />Deputy Director <br />
